The scribes will get their health insurance card from the District Information and Public Relations Officer (DIPRO) in their respective districts. A delegation of Bhubaneswar-based journalists met Patnaik at the state secretariat and thanked him for the scheme. They also drew the attention of the chief minister to the problems faced by scribes while performing their duties in the state.
